My mother-in-law no longer has much of an appetite, but this soup always gets her going!

Creamy Chicken Alfredo Soup is a delightful twist on the classic Italian pasta dish, Chicken Alfredo. This comforting and hearty soup blends tender chicken, creamy Alfredo sauce, and bowtie pasta, making it a perfect option for cozy family dinners or a satisfying lunch. The origins of Chicken Alfredo date back to early 20th century Rome, where American tourists fell in love with its rich, creamy sauce. This soup version captures all those beloved flavors while offering a warm and inviting meal that’s easy to prepare and perfect for any occasion.
This Creamy Chicken Alfredo Soup pairs wonderfully with a crisp, green salad topped with a simple vinaigrette to balance the richness of the soup. Additionally, serving it with a side of garlic bread or a warm, crusty baguette enhances the meal's comfort factor and creates a perfect opportunity to soak up every last drop of the delicious broth.
